Every now and then, someone comes along whose presence brightens every room they enter. For Bungalow, that someone is Laura—an energetic stylist whose joy, warmth, and dedication inspire both her colleagues and customers alike.
Laura, known affectionately as Bungalow’s resident sunshine, combines an infectious enthusiasm for life with an effortless knack for style. Her approach to fashion is a lively blend of classic staples, sporty vibes, and cheerful patterns, always with a playful twist. "Classic, Sporty, Cheerful, Beachy, and Casual—that’s my style in five words," she shares with her trademark smile.
One thing everyone immediately notices about Laura? Her iconic collection of trucker hats. Currently topping her favorites list is a bright blue hat adorned with a colorful "ARIZONA" patch and three golden stars on its bill. "The best trucker hats," she insists, "have a fun graphic or a local story behind them."
Laura’s flair for style isn’t just about great outfits—it’s about making genuine connections. On the Bungalow sales floor, she thrives, engaging warmly with everyone she meets. "I genuinely love connecting with people and try to bring good energy into every interaction," Laura explains. "Meeting new people, catching up with regulars, and helping clients discover something special they truly love—that’s my favorite part of the job."
Travel has also profoundly influenced Laura’s sense of style. "Greece has left the biggest mark on my wardrobe," she reflects. "The crisp whites, vibrant blues, and breezy linens are timeless and effortless." And as a proud mother, Laura’s personal style has naturally evolved. "Motherhood taught me to prioritize comfort and practicality," she says. "Now that my kids are grown, I still lean into stylish, easy staples. Plus, with my daughter living in Charleston, I’ve adopted a touch of sweet Southern charm."
When she’s not delighting Bungalow customers or jet-setting to her next travel destination, Laura enjoys cheering on her favorite teams (the Steelers especially), exploring local dining spots, or stepping out for date night. Her ideal evening look? A simple, elegant little black dress—proving you can never go wrong with a classic.
Laura’s warmth and positivity aren’t just qualities—they’re contagious. She effortlessly lights up the Bungalow space and creates an experience for everyone who visits. "Bungalow is more than just a store or boutique," she says earnestly. "It’s an experience. I’m grateful to be part of this team and feel so fortunate to learn from such talented people in both furniture and fashion."
Whether styling an outfit or offering a friendly greeting, Laura reminds us daily that true style is all about joy, authenticity, and connection.
